shining like the sun,
echoing across the land.
battles lost and won,
for the lady's hand.

My Castle
as i sit inside my castle
behind wall, and wall and wall.
i cant help but think and wonder,
will you wait and watch them fall?
will you prod them, see them titer?
watch them stay just standing tall?
will you bring forth all the elements?
or not sit and wait at all?
each wall hides but another
built stronger. I rebuilt them all.
as you walk away they crumble.
would you look back or stay the fool?
do you take apart the peices?
take them brick, by brick they pool,
around your feet, then back together?
protecting you and me so small?
would you make in them some door ways?
brick them back up, and call... and call?
out to my soul and to no other
keep me safe, in my castle, my rules?

My Head and Hearts Mistress - A letter
I could write you of my love m'lady
but it would take a while
and as my heart fly's up, m'lady
I still have to face the pile
I could sing you of my thoughts, m'lady
but would the words ring true?
as not a single word, m'lady
could aptly describe you
I could speak you sonnets fair, m'lady
but none would quite match up,
with the landscapes u remind, m'lady
founts wisdom I ne'r quite sup
so as I think to show, m'lady
I do so with my heart
and leave this down beside m'lady
so ne'er we are apart
but it would take a while
and as my heart fly's up, m'lady
I still have to face the pile
I could sing you of my thoughts, m'lady
but would the words ring true?
as not a single word, m'lady
could aptly describe you
I could speak you sonnets fair, m'lady
but none would quite match up,

I do so with my heart
and leave this down beside m'lady

Roulette wheel
Heed no warnings.
Place your bets.
Still got time,
Ain't lost nothing yet
Wait for the ball to drop,
or Take your next card
just give it your all
Win, or loose, hard.

Luminescence
it slinks across my face
unbidden,
unwanted.
slowly rising with a thought,
an image,
a word,
spreading thickly, affecting me more
I grow taller
light a spark
unmistakeably it moves to my eyes,
opening them wider
like a happy child.
And not a conscious thought to place it there.
yet it comes,
and so it grows
and the battles lost and won to hold it back.
it resides
despite the fighting.
and the cause of this fight across my features?
its what I know
and whom I now see.

The Painting
YOU are not a reflection of your words.
THEY are not the be all and and all of your soul
Your HEART does not beat to their rhythm and nor
does your mirror your true-self behold
your Eyes do not reflect your voice
they do not sing the notes of your tune
it is Not the feelings you wish to portray, and
they cannot be shaped in crushing with your hand.
Your height does not portray your measure,
you can stand tall yet never meet the roof.
By stretching, yourself continue to contradict.
Show in you whole not fear, just act aloof
Self portrait you cannot understand
the shaking of your masters hand
the strokes fall widely yet still don't show,
the deepest emotion to those who wish to know.
Esme ~ 4/1/2012
the final stanza i feel reads well alone too.

Truth of truthes/ True Reality
my truths are not your truths,
my heart is not yours,
my eyes see not your soul,
and my ears know not your pain.
I'm sorry
If these walls could talk
their council would be invaluable
If hearts could sing
their melody would bring understanding.
I'd listen.
i hold my peace
and pick up the pieces
but this broken puzzle
can not be fixed.
Get glue.
this play takes its places
the players stand on stage
the background takes the scene
and the orchestra, behind a screen.
Standing ovation.
my truths would only hurt you
in this your broken state
so while i can not heal you
right hear, I'll sit, and wait.
Hold tightly.

cut to the quick
cut it to the quick,
let it stick,
let it strike you to the bone.
take you home,
let you hear the voices loud,
standing proud,
speaking truth of those around.
hammer pound,
till the honesty comes out,
and you shout
as you cut it to the quick!

Pride
Tearing through the jungle,
the plains and the seas.
The mightiest of creatures battle here.
Sneaking up so softly,
without sight or sound.
The highest of the creature prepare to pounce.
Wrestling down their pray,
holding down the fort.
The greatest strength to gain submission given.
Ecstasy of the kill,
the mutual release from stress.
Offering a quick death and not to linger.

no regrets
no regrets
regrets are for what you didn't do
when you know you wanted to
run into the wind screaming
don't walk silently
Run through fields and be an airplane
then stop and stare intently at the view
I have no regrets
as they're for what I didn't do
Why live with regrets?
opportunity knocks rare enough
staring intently doesn't get you there
walk while singing
jump on the bed
buy a bouncier one if it breaks
I shall not have regrets
I know what I want to do
if the moment arises
and you knew long ago you'd like to try
Why the hell not?
best friends only exist through chances
as do life's best experiences
Jump into waterfalls
look at the beautiful girl
if she see's, maybe shes looking at you too
I outcast regrets
if I can, I SHALL DO!!!

Theatre masks
smooth, unblemished,unbroken
heated and cooled,no token
or hint to show the change
of painters thoughts rearranged.
yet the mask breaks
and cracks when paint is applied
the more is seen
the more you try to hide
add the purples, blues and greens
and all the more go in-between,
as the brushstroke grows defined
more visible the cracks and lines.
up close you cannot hope
to hide from the microscope
the defects that lie in the masks
but from distance? Safe AT LAST!
those who do not want or wish to see
or are blind to all bar their "me",
think the purple just the same
as its earlier,brighter shade.
but on again the mask is put
before to take another look,
actors posture alters here
a new persona pulls you near
but do not think it does not lack
fractures , breaks,blemish or cracks
to see the truth,now there's the task,
of the face behind, that theater mask.

Knowledge is Power
Do you know me?
I think not
for you believe my lies
or you dont yet believe
I tell them in wanting solitude
Yet I do not.
Do you hear me?
I think not
I speak of my hearts song
yet you ignore
its melancholy
melody
Do you see me?
Again I sadly say no.
I am smiling on this outer shell
But look closely and you will see cracks
Would you see through
the their source too?
Do you feel me?
Perhaps you do
I am of bone and sinew
But i fold and crumble under this weight
I bruise deeply inside.

Puzzle Pieces
I drown in my sorrow
I cannot swim
I cannot see
I do not hear
I choke on my emotions
I cannot speak
Not cry for help
I do not breathe
I crumble from my heart break
I cannot hold
I cannot control
I do not piece myself together
Falling apart at the seems
No one to turn to
No one to see me
Yet still you catch me my love
(14th nov 2011 -19:59)

Swell builds
The dam breaks
The flood pours fourth
Blackens itself
Takes form the world
Seeps through all the cracks
Covering its source
As the bough breaks
And Sorrow flows forward

how can you measure beauty?
how can you measure beauty
measure with the likeness of the sun
or look towards the feature
one that has just begun
when I see your smile
I don't know what to do
with your ever lasting love
Roses are almost as beautiful as you
The clear streams running water
the bubble of babbling brook
a sound I cannot measure
or take in with just one look
the White and wild mountains
hold but a cusp of your beauty
and lasting is your laughter
and my love now that you're with me
(roses are almost as beautiful as you - Poem inspired by this line as said to me by a dear friend whom I love greatly.)
